Mitrada UAB presents a deeply divided driver experience with stark contrasts in satisfaction levels. While one driver praised the company's flexibility, management care, and concentrated parking locations, the overwhelming majority reported severe operational and financial issues. Drivers consistently complained about unjustified salary deductions, payment delays, and poor dispatcher treatment. The vehicle fleet consists predominantly of aging trucks (Euro 5, 2012-2014 model years) requiring drivers to perform self-repairs at parking lots. Working conditions are physically demanding, with 5-8 drivers sharing a single minibus for rotations across Belgium, Netherlands, France, and Germany, often traveling 2+ days between crew changes. Multiple sources indicate deceptive recruitment practices, undisclosed working conditions, and problematic management conduct beyond basic incompetence. The company operates a Polish subsidiary (Menton Cargo) with identical structural problems. A critical pattern emerges: drivers willing to tolerate vehicle age, cramped quarters, and unpaid minibus travel were ultimately driven away by dispatcher disrespect and financial dishonesty rather than logistical challenges alone.
Pros
Flexible scheduling and willingness to accommodate driver requests
Management shows concern when problems arise (reportedly)
Concentrated parking locations minimize extensive European travel
Relatively consistent work availability with regular routes
Cons
Unjustified salary deductions and delayed wage payments
